My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

These {are} the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: {execute...: Heb. judge truth, and the judgment of peace}

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, {see that ye} love one another with a pure heart fervently:

But grow in grace, and {in} the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him {be} glory both now and for ever. Amen.

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

And hath put all {things} under his feet, and gave him {to be} the head over all {things} to the church,

{Let} love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

Blessed {is} the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit {there is} no guile.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all {things} he might have the preeminence. {in...: or, among all}

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. {dishonesty: Gr. shame}

And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart {is} not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength {lieth}.

I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. {grow: or, blossom} {cast...: Heb. strike}

But grow in grace, and {in} the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him {be} glory both now and for ever. Amen.

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all {things} he might have the preeminence. {in...: or, among all}

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also {is} Christ.

And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman {is} the man; and the head of Christ {is} God.

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make {them} the members of an harlot? God forbid.

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; {approve: or, try} {are...: or, differ}

And hath put all {things} under his feet, and gave him {to be} the head over all {things} to the church,

(For the fruit of the Spirit {is} in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

Thy neck {is} like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.

I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

Thine head upon thee {is} like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king {is} held in the galleries. {Carmel: or, crimson} {held: Heb. bound}

How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs {are} like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.

And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners. {coupled: Heb. twinned}
